Review|Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly

Author: Anthony Bourdain
Narrated by: Anthony Bourdain

I must admit that I am a huge fan of the cooking world's bad boy tv host, chef, author and foodie: Anthony Bourdain. Listening to this account of his experiences and philosophies was very enjoyable. I highly recommend you read (or listen) to it. Here is an excerpt from the book...

Vegetarians are the enemy of everything good and decent in the human spirit, and an affront to all I stand for, the pure enjoyment of food.

Bourdain has a knack for being very descriptive and I think he is a great story teller. The audiobook is much more enjoyable because it is narrated by the chef himself. I also like how he likens Emeril to an Ewok... BAM!

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well. I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
